Let’s be honest: your feet deserve better. In a world full of rigid soles and suffocating footwear, we created something that finally lets your feet be feet. Enter: Primus Asana, our everyday barefoot sneaker, crafted to bring grounded comfort and style together like never before.
It’s not just another shoe. It’s your daily dose of barefoot freedom, with the softness you crave and the simplicity your routine needs. Ideal for slow walks, busy commutes, coffee runs, and city explorations - Primus Asana is where elegance meets mobility.
The Elegance Of Barefoot Simplicity
We designed Primus Asana for those moments that matter most: stepping outside for fresh air, walking to your favorite café, or stretching out in your home studio. And we made sure it looked fine to accomplish it.
Everything about this shoe whispers comfort. Thanks to its snug build and airy, stripped-back upper, the Asana hugs your foot without adding bulk. It never shows off, yet offers exactly the support your body craves.
Barefoot, But Better: A New Kind Of Everyday
Sure, barefoot shoes are great for running and lifting. But we asked ourselves, what about the other 90% of your life? That’s where the Primus Asana comes in. Designed to flex, breathe, and move with you, it fosters your foot's natural shape and quietly props you up all day long without crowding your step. Walk. Move. Stretch. Lounge. Repeat. It's about touching the basics again.
